While top directors queue up for the dates of Pawan Kalyan, the power star is apparently more comfortable working with new comers. After doing the multi-starrer, ‘Gopala Gopala’ in the direction of Dolly, he is now doing ‘Sardar Gabbar Singh’ in the direction of Bobby.
While fans expected Pawan’s next film to be with a seasoned director, they were taken aback when news filtered in that his next film might be with Tamil director SJ Suryah.
The latter directed Pawan in ‘Khushi’ which established Pawan permanently as a super star in Tollywood. But these days, Suryah is busier as an actor than as a director.
Against this backdrop, fans are somewhat puzzled as to the veracity of the news and how this deal may have materialized. What gives credibility to the news is that Pawan’s ex-wife Renu Desai tweeted about a luncheon meeting she had with SJ Suryah.
Although separated from Renu Desai, Pawan still has cordial relations with her. Maybe fans are a bit concerned because SJ Suryah’s last film with Pawan was ‘Komaram Puli’ which was a box-office disaster.
According to the original plan, Raju Sundaram was supposed to direct Pawan in a story written by Suryah. Now, Suryah himself will be directing it.
